Chapter 33: The Familiar Yet Strange Little Boar and the Crow Monster
Sunan did find something interesting, but he didn't say it directly.
Because he was very curious about what would happen if Balaton continued to do this.
Without saying anything more, he pretended that he knew nothing and looked around until he saw two familiar yet unfamiliar figures.
A little wild boar monster and a crow monster.
The moment he saw them, Su Nan was slightly stunned.
“What a familiar image.”
As if he had thought of something, he glanced around a few times.
There is no bear coach who can crush monsters with his high rank, no wolf steward who pretends to be noble but kills monsters like crazy, and no stupid and ignorant mountain king...
They seem to be living a good life.
There was a smile on his face that came from the heart.
"Then let's go and take a look. It's like... taking a look at how you live in another world."
Sunan hid his body and followed them silently, while Balaton on the side looked at the two little orcs curiously, somewhat confused as to how they attracted the attention of Sunan, the superior demon god.
However, he did not ask any more questions, but followed Su Nan quietly.
……
The little wild boar monster and the crow monster are good friends.
They have a very good relationship and are best friends.
Just like Paimon and Little Yellow Hair.
The little wild boar monster and the crow monster are not used to the kind of houses that humans live in, so their home is in a cave scattered along the mountainside.
They were now preparing to go home, but the crow monster seemed to be worried about something and almost bumped into a tree when he walked with his head down.
But this is normal. If you just keep your head down while walking and don't look at the road ahead, it is reasonable to bump into a tree.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you look a little absent-minded?" The little wild boar spirit was a little worried about the crow monster. As the crow monster's best friend, it was very worried about the other party's current state.
The crow monster looked up at the little wild boar monster, and after looking at it for a few seconds, he sighed and lowered his head again.
Noticing the crow monster's state, the little wild boar scratched his head, reached out and quietly pinched one of the other's feathers, and then...
"Ouch! It hurts..." The crow monster, who was originally a little dazed, suddenly covered the place where his feathers were plucked, rubbed it, and looked at the little wild boar monster with a resentful look on his face.
"What are you doing~ Ouch!"
The crow monster made a strange cry.
Hearing this voice, the little wild boar shuddered inexplicably, and said with a wry smile:
"Isn't this because you're absent-minded~"
Then, it asked with a hint of curiosity: "What happened to you just now? Did something happen to you?"
"...I heard from my eldest cousin's second uncle, the third uncle of the Wang family next door, that the most terrible war is coming..." The crow monster sighed, with deep worry flashing in his eyes, "and my eldest cousin has been running north these days."
"You know, that's the front line..."
In Langlang Mountain, previous wars could only be described as minor skirmishes. At most, you sent troops to interfere with me, and I sent troops to interfere with you, affecting each other's mood.
But things have changed since the Demon War was officially launched.
The atmosphere around them suddenly became tense, and the smiles that originally came from the heart on everyone's faces faded a lot.
This is still the relatively safe west side of Langlang Mountain.
If it were on the north side, the entire army would have been ready for battle long ago.
Balaton was a good god, and to his people there was no doubt about that.
The mortal tribes in the south were almost completely unaware of what was happening on the northern front. These mortals only knew that their gods did not allow them to go north.
They were not allowed to learn any information about the war.
The clans in the east, that is, the water bird tribe, are the main fighting force on the northern front.
Most of Balaton's "love" was given to the common people in the south, a small part to the monsters in the west, and his own family...
Someone has to sacrifice.
"The front line..." The little wild boar didn't understand what war was, nor did he understand what the front line was.
It only knows that many monsters will die in the war and many monsters will also die on the front line.
So, the little wild boar spirit really wanted to know one thing.
"Why should there be a war?" the little boar monster subconsciously asked his good friend the crow monster.
In its mind, the crow monster seemed to be a know-it-all who knew a little bit about everything.
It’s a pity that the crow monster’s answer this time disappointed it.
"I don't know either." The crow monster scratched his head, and his already sparse hair looked even more desolate at this moment.
Thinking requires brain power. The little wild boar monster didn't like thinking, so he left the thinking to the crow monster, and as a result, the crow monster became bald.
It has now become a bald bird.
Hearing this, the little wild boar showed a hint of disappointment.
"Only God knows about this kind of thing, right?" The crow monster seemed unable to bear to see his friend in this state, so he encouraged it.
“Only God knows…” The little wild boar spirit muttered to himself, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look towards the top of Langlang Mountain.
It often heard people say that the mountain god of Langlang Mountain lived on the top of Langlang Mountain.
But it has never seen the mountain god, and the same is true for the crow monster.
In the past, it didn't really want to meet God.
Because God gave them many things, a comfortable life, abundant supplies, a new home...
But today, it suddenly wanted to go to the mountain to take a look.
"I want to go to the top of the mountain and take a look." The little wild boar monster said seriously to the crow monster.
"You...why are you going to the top of the mountain?" The crow monster was a little surprised and worried when he heard this.
It was worried that the little wild boar would do something bad and offend the gods.
"I want to ask the Lord God why this war happened." The little wild boar spirit's tone was full of determination.
“……” The crow monster opened his mouth and suddenly wanted to slap himself.
It feels that it shouldn't say something like "only God knows".
If it didn't say it, its good friends would not have the idea of questioning the source of the war between gods.
……
"The war is over." At this time, Sunan suddenly spoke to Balaton who was silent beside him.
"Ah?" Balaton looked puzzled.
"If this little guy comes to the top of the mountain and comes in front of you, you can just answer it like this." Sunan continued.
Balaton did not continue speaking after hearing this. His expression was a little complicated, as if he had thought of something.
After a long moment, he asked.
"You...want to take action?"
"Yeah." Sunan answered softly, watching the little wild boar monster and the crow monster walking towards the top of the mountain.
But this time, he didn't follow.
"Little monsters of Langlang Mountain, just live well this time."
"This world is different from the cruel world of Journey to the West."
"Here are kind gods and kind fellows."
"And I……"
Sunan thought so, a gentle smile blooming on his face.
